neighbors came out around their
back doors and smiled, and a man
on load of hay, with a pitchfork
in each hand. yelled: Fight him !
Why in blazes don't you turn
around and fight him."
"Look him in the eye! Look
him steadily in the eye p yelled a
man who had beaten Mr.. Dollinger
in a lawsuit the day before.
And all the time the dog was
right up next to Mr.. Dollinger, Bit
ing pieces out Of his person and
trying to bark louder than the
mules were braying or Mrs. Dol
linger was screaming.
Then the dog got hold Of his
coat-tail and Mr.. Dollinger started
across the lots for his fence again
with the dog streaming out behind
three feet from the ground and
barking out of both corners of his
mouth. Just as he passed the
wagon two tall, raw-boned MissOu-
rians came up on the trot.
"I'll be doggoned, Bill, if the
burned sneak hain't been tryin' ter
steal something! Sic him, Tige J.
"YOu bet he has! Count the
things and see if the cussed boss
thief got anything, while / pepper
him p and he jerked a double-bar-
relied shotgun out of the front end
of the wagon. There, take that
and that you Ornery pup" and
he blazed away first with one bar
rel and then with the other, but not
till Mr.. and Mrs. Dollinger had dis
appeared around the corner Of the
barn.
"When / 60 out to play with an
other blamed cur to make it home
like for him, you'll know it-where
are them other clothes of miner"
said Mr.. Dollinger when he got into
the hOuse.-Dakota Bell.

Peters Wife.--And Some Other Wives.

"My dear" said Mrs. Peters to
her husband the other day, "what
discs all this stuff in the papers
about "hOme rule" meanw
"It MEANS" said Peters with the
air of a sage, "that the Irish want
to govern Ireland themselves"
"They are tired of the tyranny OF
the car, are they?"
"The car! What are you talk
ing about?'
"Oh, l mean the emperor"
"Worsc and more of it. Do YOU
mean to tell me that you don't
know that Ireland is under the rule
of England?"
"Oh, so it is. Isn't Queen Vic
toria good to them? Pm sure she
looks real nice in her pictures. She
can't be very horrid."
"She's horrid enough to the Irish.
Now you listen and I'll explain the
home rule business to you. l
want my wife informed on so i'm
gortant a subject. You know all
about Gladstone, don't yeu?"
ooh, yes; he's Queen Victoria's
son or something else, isn't he?"
"What are you talking about?
Have married a raving lunatic?"
"There, now; you go to getting
cross about nothing. l wouldn't
talk to my wife like that for all the
Irish on earth. Gladstone is the
king or president or car or what
ever the raler of Ireland is, isn't he?
But it doesn't sound like an Irish
name"
'"He's no more Irish than I'm
Chinese. Now you pay attention
and I'll tell you all about it. For
years the people of Ireland have
long been dissatisfied"
"With Gladstone?"
"No, no"
"With Victoria then? Well, L"
"Not with her alone. They have
been shamefully oppressed and
their rights and liberties restricted
through coercion and"
Coercion means the same as
prohibition does here, doesn't it?"
slave you any sense at all? I'd
like to see the English rulers try
the prohibition game on the Irish
in Ireland. They'd ride Queen Vic
toria on a rail and lynch parlia-
ment in a body. The home rule
muddle wouldn't be anything. Co.
ercion is species of tyranny that
deprivcs the Irish of almost all in
dividual liberty. You have heard
Of Parncll?"
"He's the man that has just been
round the world on a bicycle, isn't
he?"
"Great Caesar! I've a notion to
go right down town and apply for
a..divorce. Any jury in the land
would give it to Inc in two minutes
and a half! Here! where's my
coat? I'm going off and hang NY
self for marrying such a"
james! you're just as mean as
you can he +! Pm sure I've under
stood every word you've said, and
/ won't stand your abuse. l."
But Peters had fled.

Building Up a Town.

FOstoria, Ohio, the home of ex-
Governor Foster, is city of about
5000, only a short distance from To
ledO, and twelve miles from Tiffin,
a city of 10000. Governor Fosters
father started general store at the
cross roads, and when his son Charles
became of age he had studied the Sc
cret of building up a town. He bar
tered in everything. One day a
druggist came along looking for a
place to locate, and Charley says {:
Here, take these compounds and 90
across the street and start drug
store, and if you haven't the capital
I'll help you" He turned over his
stock of nails and screws to another
man and started a large hardware
store. but he didn't tell HIM to spoil
his trade by handling lumber, lime
and a dozen other articles. Those he
reserved for another new conner.
Groceries, clothing, queensware, ETC.,
followed suit until the town was
made, and Mr.. Foster, by the rise of
real estate, became a millionaire,
His secret was: Divide up and keep
a good stock-encourage emigration.

the close Of Secretary Lamar's intro
ductOry remarks to deliver his lee
ture entitled 1.-The Modern Pagan"
which is powerful arraignment Of
Col. Robert q. IngersolI, before the
tribunal of the Christian world.
General Sheridan's modern pagan is
Colonel Ingersoll, who, Gen. Sheri-
dan charged, has stepped himself in
infdeIism merely because his inOrdi-
nate cOnceit prompts him TO rccOg-
nize no one as his superior in mat
terS intellectual. The lecturer stated
that while Col. IngersOIl frankly ad-
mitS he knows nothing about God,
he proceeds to give his opinion as to
the existence of a Deity. Such Opin-
ious are WOlth nothing, because they
are based on acknowledged igno-
rance. The lecturer said that no
man has the right to destroy with
out replacing that which is destroy
ed or giving something better in re-
turn. Colonel Ingersol's is to de-
strOy all belief in GCd, and, rObbing
the Christian people Of the sublime
consolation derived from the faith
in the existence of God and and fu-
ture state, he leaves their lives an
absolute blank, with nothing but to
return to the silent dust. The lee
turer reiterated the charge that Col.
lngersOll claimed that the Bible was
not an inspired work because he
could write better one himself.
| General Sheridan said that while In
! gersOll claims that the works OF
Shakespeare and Burns poem to
MARY in Heaven" are far more
beautiful than anything in the Scrip
lures, he forgot that both writers
were ardent students of the Bible,
and derived their inspiration, and in
fact many of their very expressions
from the Bible. In fact, the Bible
furnishes us a large share of forms OF
speech, and biblical expressions are
in daily use. AS to weight of var.
ious opinions concerning the exist.
ence or non existence of God, the
lecturer asked the audience to com.
